Strangers breathing another line
moistened senses swoon left
of centre, another beautiful deity
picked and plucked, the lint
from bellybutton trails to dine.
feasting on saturated savoury tarts, yet
scented saffron dies in lent
cast adrift, torn, a lurid net.
Christian monogamists wrestle the Nile
flooded. sinners and breeders find
auspicious encounters satisfying Yin
